An algorithmic approach for the evaluation of musculoskeletal tumors is proposed on the basis of a prospective comparison of different imaging techniques in 50 unselected patients. Conventional radiography was superior to other techniques in predicting the nature of primary bone tumors. Computed tomography proved the most effective method for assessing the extent of musculoskeletal tumors and therefore had a significant influence on management in 66% of patients studied. CT was more informative than angiography and also provided more anatomical detail than ultrasound. Radionuclide scanning was mainly of value in detecting unsuspected skeletal metastases in patients with apparently solitary skeletal lesions.
基于对50例未经挑选的患者进行不同成像技术的前瞻性比较，提出了一种评估肌肉骨骼肿瘤的算法方法。在预测原发性骨肿瘤的性质方面，传统放射摄影优于其他技术。计算机断层扫描被证明是评估肌肉骨骼肿瘤范围的最有效方法，因此对66%的研究患者的治疗产生了重大影响。CT比血管造影提供的信息更多，也比超声提供更多的解剖细节。放射性核素扫描主要在检测明显孤立性骨骼病变患者中未被怀疑的骨转移方面有价值。
